A professional artist for over 23 years, Briggs’ experience ranges from working as an advertising art director for national firms to producing fine works of art shown in galleries and seen in many private collections. In 2002, she was awarded a Signature Membership in the Northwest Watercolor Society, and has work accepted into and won awards in numerous juried shows. Cindy is a juried member of the High Desert Art League and the WSO, and an associate member of the NWS. Having served as a chair and juror for both professional and children’s programs, she is involved with the artistic community at many levels. Utilizing her experience in advertising, Cindy continues to promote the arts in her community as a free-lance writer contributing to art periodicals, newspapers and magazines. She currently teaches private and group lessons in her Bend studio and leads international workshops abroad—in Provence, Throughout Tuscany, Umbria the Amalfi Coast in Italy, and in 2009 on a Greek Cruise. She often team teaches with her best friend, and co-author of “Make Every Day a Painting”, Theresa Goesling. Both artists were recently featured in the Spring 2007 Issue of Watercolor Magazine.
A native of Colorado, Cindy shares the creative gene with four generations of her family. Encouraged to pursue the arts—she earned a degree in Graphic Design, then worked as an advertising art director for 15 years in San Francisco, LA and Seattle (nationally recognized firms including, Foote, Cone & Belding, McCann Erickson, and Young & Rubicam). Her clients ranged from Levi Strauss & Co., K2 and Xerox, to Chevron, Sunkist, Orion Pictures and Universal Studios. Following her dream, she quit advertising in 1998 to focus on painting. Along with being mentored by her aunt, artist Ellie Weakley, she has also studied with Cathy Goodale, Linda Doll, Theresa Saia, Jan Kunz, Eric Wiegardt, Jean Grastorf, Carolyn Anderson, Lavonne Tarbox-Crone, Skip Whitcomb, Charles Reid, Nancy Taylor Stonington, Stella Canfield and Frank Webb. |
